Special Events

In addition to our acclaimed productions, Book-It holds a variety of special fundraising events including an annual gala, a luncheon in support of our arts and education programs, and the deliciously decadent Guilty Pleasures. Watch this page; new additions are made regularly.

Guilty Pleasures are campy, trampy send-ups of everything from classic literature to pulp fiction — all the books you’ll never admit you read. Our one-night-only party includes a rad raffle and grown-up goodies galore, including “adult goodie bags” provided by Babeland.

Bringing Books to Life Fundraising Luncheon

Thank you for your support at our annual Bringing Books to Life Fundraiser on October 28, 2016. More than 125 people helped us raise $35,000 to support the 9th grade residency program at Chief Sealth High School and the upcoming productions of Goin’ Someplace Special and El Deafo. Last year, with your help, we reached 55,000 students and educators throughout Washington State with Book-It’s arts and education programming. We are grateful for your support of our literacy work in schools.
